    What to do if Cardinal Accessories shows an ERROR message?
    • M
      Margaret LeeAug 25, 2025
      If your Cardinal Accessories displays an ERROR message, it means an invalid keypad entry was attempted. This could be due to several reasons: * Pressing PRINT with a negative weight. * Pressing TARE with a negative value. * Entering a tare weight exceeding the scale's capacity. * Entering a tare weight inconsistent with the scale's division value. * Pressing ZERO when the gross weight is outside the zero weight range. * Pressing lb/kg to switch to kilograms when the kilogram tare weight exceeds 4 digits. Determine which of these reasons applies and take corrective action.

      The 'UNSTABLE' message on your Cardinal Accessories scale indicates motion is present when trying to power up, print, zero, or perform a push-button tare. Wait for a stable weight display (when the STABLE symbol is on) before performing any of these operations.

      The 'ANALOG HIGH' error on your Cardinal Accessories indicates that the load cell input is above the allowed range of the indicator. Check for improper load cell wiring, excessive load, and ensure the output is between 1 to 40mV. If the issue persists, it may indicate a load cell or circuit failure, and you should consult your scale service provider.
